As a car guy, I _LOVE_ ethanol. 106 octane means being able to run 13:1 compression on the street. However, the idea of making it from corn is a stupid one. If I was a politician running for office, the artificial constraint of a needed grain (wheat/corn) looks awfully attractive. The US is the dominant supplier of these grains, and if we keep the supplies artificially low, then we've brokered a position of power in the new food economy. I don't know if our morons running for office can think that far ahead, but if they can, I'm sure they're thinking about this. --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
